6-5-38 Viburnum lentago & 6-1-88. Lvs dark green & rather shining above, pale beneath. They look glabrous on both sides but (20x) show minute appressed white hairs, two from same point thus — . Mid rib and new growth of wing have occasional rusty hairs besides. Since lvs are not "silby downy" with brownish hairs as in C. Amonum nor twigs "bright red purple" as in C. stolonifera, this seems only possibility. Lvs taper- pointed; base acute as in ill (30 B). See also Keeler 854. Petioles now reddish. Very young lvs tinged red- dish. Stems grayish brown but (as regards twigs) no more smooth than in the other 2a species 6-5-38 [7-28-38 leaves fr. Peduncles pedicels red. Dried ones common in woods. Fr. not frequent. 6-5-38 Penstemon linearis Willd G 722; BvB III 182 See W.Fq N.Y. Pl 198. F.L. Roadside southward. Sterile stamen visible at tip of corolla, its yellow hairs suggesting a stigma. 6-5-38 Salix Fr. 2 trees Roadside southward. Using key in BvB I 591: Capsule glabrous (: T-14); pedicels parsb .7mm and about twice the length of gland (:. not 1-5); lns not glabrous from the first G p22 nor petioles glandular BvB (:. not 6). Bracts(mostly fallen) are at least yellowish brown, twice as long pedicel, hairy on edges at base in back but not on inside (probably thus 7-10). Not & because teeth are fine and
